About Translate Text
Translate Text converts text between 100+ languages. When your browser ships a built-in translator (Chrome 131 and up) it uses that, and otherwise it falls back to the M2M100 model running on your device. Reach for it to quickly translate a paragraph, a message, or extracted document text without sending it to a cloud service.

Frequently asked questions
How many languages are supported?
Over 100 language pairs, via your browser's built-in translator where available or the M2M100 fallback model.
Does my text go to a server?
No. Both the browser's built-in translator and the M2M100 fallback run on your device, so the text stays local.
What is the M2M100 fallback?
A multilingual translation model that runs in-browser when your browser lacks a native translator, so the tool still works in Chrome below 131, Firefox, or Safari.
Will the fallback model need to download?
When the browser's built-in translator isn't available, the M2M100 model loads in your browser on first use, then is cached for repeat runs.
How is the quality for rare language pairs?
Common pairs translate well. For less common pairs or nuanced text, the hosted Translate Pro tool produces noticeably better results.
What format does it return?
Plain text — the translated passage, ready to copy or feed into another tool.
